NFC Championship: San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta survived a late rally by the Seahawks and showed the poise needed to win a big game. That is good, because with the 49ers coming to town they will need to be ready, and will not survive another breakdown like last week's. Kaepernick put on a clinic in the 49er's huge win over the Packers, and while it is unlikely he can play that kind of game again, he clearly ignites the offense, and can stymie defenses. The Falcon's offense has been good all season, and they will face one of the best defenses in the league, so how Atlanta handles the newfangled San Francisco offense might be the difference in the game.
